christmas-presents

'Secret' santa between groups or families. Buy a present for someone random in another group. Or just match people/elements from different groups with each other.

People inside a certain group won't match with people in the same group.

Add people

To clear all added people so far, call clearPeople(). A person can be added by pushing a new Person object on the people array. Example:

people.push(new Person('Person Name', 'Group Name'));

People get a unique ID and hence can have the same name. The person ID can be requested by calling getId() on the Person object. Group names are case sensitive, group A is a different group than a.

Generate matches

There are three algorithms that can be called: circleMatch(), randomMatch() and coupleMatch().

Just call the function and the matching algorithm will try to generate all matches between all groups. If succeeded, True is returned, False otherwise. Matches are stored in the matches array as BuysFor objects which contains two People objects.

View matches

They are visualised with the function printMatches(id). id is the id of a DOM UL-object where the matches will be displayed.

Minimal demo

clearPeople();
people.push(new Person('Person A', 'First group'));
people.push(new Person('Person B', 'Second group'));
if (randomMatch()) {
    printMatches(); // Append to body
}
